Favorite game of all time 2005

Still FF7

Landstalker: Sega Genesis

This game was so ridiculously overshadowed by the SNES\'s Zelda: Link to the Past. Essentially, it was Sega\'s Zelda. You were a treasure hunter named Nigel, in search of an evil ancient king\'s treasure. The puzzles in the game were amazing, and the fighting was just as fun as you equipped various boots, swords, tunics, etc.

Just overall an incredible game, it pretty much comprised of my entire life when I was 10 years old. I didnt think a day went by when I played it.



And some other very honorable mentions:

Miner 2049er (Atari 800)
Utopia or Sea Battle (Intellivision)
M.U.L.E. (Atari 800)
X-Com: UFO Defense (PC)
Civilization 1, 2, or 3 (PC)
Command & Conquer: Red Alert / Red Alert 2 / Yuri\'s Revenge (PC)
System Shock (PC)
Half Life (PC)
If Valve eventually solves the stuttering problems, HL2 would eclipse HL.

If you added up all the time I\'ve spent gaming in my lifetime, I\'ve probably spent more time on the Civilization games than all others combined.  Therefore my vote for greatest game goes to Civilization (take your pick of which version, but III is the best so far)

Turtles II on the NES pwns all your puny games!!!

Super Mario RPG (SNES)
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64)
Super Mario 64 (N64)
Final Fantasy IX (PSX)
Donkey Kong Country (SNES)
Mike Tyson\'s Punch Out! (NES)

Those are the top 6 that came to mind.

Of all time has to Ledgend of Zelda: A LInk to the Past just b/c I\'ve played it more than any of my other "favorites".

Ocarina of Time is a close second, then Mario RPG probably... who were those power ranger lookin guys again?

Well being how is only the second month of 2005, I\'m gonna give myself a few more months until I decide what my favorite one is.

1.  Final Fantasy VII  (Playstation)
2.  Final Fantasy VIII  (Playstation)
3.  Xenogears  (Playstation)
4.  Sonic the Hedgehog 2  (Genesis)
5.  Chrono Trigger  (Super Nintendo)
6.  Final Fantasy X  (Playstation 2)
7.  NHL 1995  (Genesis)
8.  Doom  (Genesis)
9.  The Legend of Zelda  (Nintendo)
10.  The Legend of Zelda:  The Orcarina of Time  (Nintedo 64)

SwifDi\'s got it right with the LandStalker loving. I was a huge Zelda fan (from the NES era) but didn\'t have the SNES until 1996. LTTP is IMO one of the great titles in all of gaming history, but LandStalker definitely earns kudos.

I never owned it in cartridge form but back in the day.. set a personal record by renting it at least 8 times. Probably 9. Different copies, even.

I\'ve also never gone straight through it and beaten it, but I\'ve beaten every part of it one way or another. Fantastic gameplay, awesome music, and a great story/presentation. Definitely in my top 5 favorite Genesis titles.

As for my favorite game of all time.. very hard to say. LTTP is definitely up there, but it\'s really easier for me to pick GOTY\'s. Even then I\'m putting myself to the test.. heh..

Last 3 years have been pretty easy, though.

2002: Metroid Prime
2003: Prince of Persia: Sands of Time (close runners-up being TWW and KOTOR)
2004: Half-Life 2

[Living-In-Clip]

Zelda: A Link to the Past
KoToR
Nights Into Dreams
Super Mario 64
Yoshi\'s Island
Street Fighter Alpha 2
Virtua Fighter 2

That picture of Donkey Kong Country brings back memories. I could earn 101% of that game today if I played it. Loved it.

Of all time, the easy answer for me is always Punch-Out!!, but as I fend off challengers in Tetris Worlds, Tetris is coming up for that spot on the list for me.

I got awesome with it on the NES (Nintendo version), learned to play competitively with Tetrinet (can\'t say I always won, but I hung in there) and now I house my friends and online strangers in Tetris Worlds whenever I get the chance.

I just regret missing it on the original Game Boy.

Also, kudos to vid\'s mention of Duck Hunt. I remember putting a chair across the room as a marker and Dad and I would aim over it and see who was better.

That\'s a really timeless game and is still fun in short doses when the mood strikes today. Any light gun game since is basically the same thing with different pictures.

Only now the "ducks" hit back.

Light gun games rocked in the day, though. Games like Wild Gunman, Hogan\'s Alley and Gotcha: Sport were all great. I never got into Gumshoe, though. I think that was the one where you shot the guy to keep him in the air.

LiC has a good "if you like this genre, get this game" list going there.. hehe..

The Axim Rangers from the Volcano? Good times

They were all a little too perky for my taste...was fun shoving my size 13 Plumber Shoes in their asses.

See Yuz.

Yeah, Ocarina Of Time for me. It just felt special from start to finish. There\'s nothing to say about this game that hasn\'t already been said. I feel honored to be in it\'s present. Personally I looooove the Spirit Temple. Just something I look forward to everytime I\'m near it.

Water Temple...hhhm...really want to play this game again just to see if it will mess with my mind again. I\'ve never been frustrated by something like the water temple. It wasn\'t impossible, that much was clear. You were just unable to find that key or you kept going through the wrong door over and over. Water Link and the lead into the boss and the boss itself were brilliant.

Again, from start to end I was completely hooked. number 1

Mario RPG...seems to be a good second. It\'s just so charming and fun. I don\'t know what it is about that part of the game but I think the Princess wedding "scene" was the greatest moment ever. The whole process leading up to it and then the grand cake finale! Uber.
